The spy shooters of KGP have snagged us one heckuva get -- these are the best shots to date of the 2009 Chevy Camaro caught on a car trailer -- including the very first interior shots we've yet seen. We'll have all the shots up in a moment, but we've got the full spy report below the jump. UPDATE: All the photos added below. Looks like the interior's remaining true to the concept interior and one thing's for sure about the exterior -- it's certainly got big tires and as we saw earlier -- a B-pillar. And these pictures show us a much more clear look at the deisgn integration than the first Camaro spy photos we shared with you last month -- or better than the sneaky Camaro camera-phone shot.


One of our European operatives caught this full stable of high- performance Holden test cars--including the new Camaro--between Denmark and Sweden, en route to the frigid arctic circle testing grounds. The encounter provided the best, most detailed look at the Camaro, including the first shots of the car's interior.
As with the exterior, the production Camaro's interior will remain
true to the concept in its overall look and feel. The largest change
between the concept and production versions is found on this
prototype's center stack, which has an attractive stereo interface
that was missing on the show car. The four small analog gages still
reside in front of the gear shift lever, and the old-school
instrumentation pods have survived the productionizing process largely
unscathed. A band of color-keyed trim runs along the dash face, and
flares out into the door panels, providing some welcome character and
further linking the production Camaro with the concept that has been
only teasing us for far too long now.

Our close-up look reveals that these Camaro prototypes were outfitted
with 20-inch wheels, and were shod with 245/45 ZR20 Pirello P Zero
tires.

Oh my. Makes the GTOs interior look distinguished.

On another note. Check out the cars it was riding along with. :)

Cars & TrucksFor the Camaro Fans...

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season and is looking forward to 2008, because I know I am.

Word has come down from Bob Lutz to remove the camo from the pre-production Camaros so further evaluations could be done for aerodynamics and cooling efficiency.

Here - for the enjoyment of our FastLane readers - is the first picture of the Camaro development vehicle without camouflage:

During this upcoming year, pre-production Camaros will appear both on U.S. and Australian roads as we continue with testing and development. So keep those camera phones ready- if you happen to see one, we'd like to hear about it, so please post a comment and include your "spy photo!"

That cannot be the finished dash. What happened to that awesome retro dash I saw in the prototype?

It isnt the finished dash in that its just a test mule/prototype so the fit and finish is nothing like it will be in production. but the interior is the final design :(

no. would have been an engineering nightmare and added a lot to the cost. it will have a sunroof though

That black thing on the front upper deck has got me daydreaming all day long.

I would expect the Camaro mule to look closer to the concept car.

Fit and finish and materials aside; I don't like the design as it transitioned from the concept.

Notice the center stack on the concept is flush with the rest of the dash. The pre-production car for cold weather testing has a huge bulge at the center stack. I don't like that aspect. I hope they don't go with the white on black guages either.

I like that concept interior alot better. I will admit in that picture that white camaro is t3h hawtness.

I will withhold final judgment on the interior until after I sit in a production model. I must say that I hope it looks MUCH nicer than what we see on that mule.

I love the exterior of the Camaro but hate the interior! I can't believe they would install the gauges below the radio. I had planned on buying a new Camaro to replace my aging 1998 Camaro Z28 but I don't know with that interior.... The G8 GT is moving up on my short list!
